Excellent introduction to a little known American composer........2004-08-22

Edward Shippen Barnes is more known for his pedagogical texts rather than for being a composer. Yet he was an extremely capable composer for the organ. He studied with Vierne and d'Indy and he knew Charles-Marie Widor. The French influence is especially seen in his Symphony No. 1.

These are works that are certainly deserving of revival. Simon Nieminski is an extremely gifted player and a persuasive advocate for these works.
